Tipos de adubação para a videira 'BRS - violeta' cultivada em latossolo vermelho no sudoeste do Paraná

The vineyard culture, in the Southwest of Paraná, has faced an evolution in recently years. However, some technical barriers has contained the expression of its full potential. Among which, the lack of scientific and technical support about the fertilization management and the fertility maintenance of production fields, is the most worrying. This fact, allied with the raising on the consumers demand for ecological correct products, are the motivations for the present study, whose main objective was to evaluate the effects of different fertilizer formulations, based on alternative nutrient sources, on grapevine yield and grape fruit quality, aiming at the improvement of those parameters and the maintenance of soil fertility. To achieve this goal, an experiment has been evaluated since 2008, at the experimental area of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Campus Pato Branco, where ten treatments were being tested, combining or isolating shale derivates from other alternative nutrient sources. Those are the treatments: T1: Gafsa Rock Phosphate (GRP) + K2SO4; T2: GRP + RPB (Rock Powder Bioland®); T3: GRP + K2SO4 + LH (Laying Hen Litter); T4: GRP+ RPB + LH; T5: GRP + K2SO4 + MBR (Matrix Shale 3); T6: GRP + RPB + MBR; T7: GRP + K2SO4 + MBR + LH; T8: GRP + RPB + LH + MBR; T9: TSP (Triple Superphosphate) + Urea + KCl and T10: absolute control. The usage of fertilization, specially the alternative fertilization, improved soil fertility characteristics and also the yield on the last two evaluated harvests. The potassium sulfate improved the potassium availability on soil, while improved yield on the last three harvests. The MBR improved the phosphorus availability, improved post-harvest conservation and improved the yield on the last evaluated harvest.

Obtenção de alumina a partir de latas de alumínio utilizando diferentes digestões e 8-hidroxiquinolina como agente quelante

Aluminum cans has wide uses and Brazil is among one of the world's largest country at recycling, to provide an option that adds value to raw materials, this paper uses aluminum cans as aluminum source for the production of alumina. Evaluating the use of acid digestions (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and aqua regia) and basic (potassium hydroxide) to solubilize the aluminum after which will be complexed with 8-hydroxyquinoline at different pH's. By calcination, the complex produces an oxide with metal components with varying proportions depending on the digestion process. The thermal behavior of the complex varies with the morphology and metals present, occurring different events due to these characteristics.
